etc.

So time to upgrade. Unfortunately, Quicken 2018 isn't currently working in crossover.

I am in the same boat. Have asked to be included in Bug 15581 for notification when Quicken 2018 starts working in CrossOver from the over thread

Currently, I am using Quicken 2015 on another Mac running parallels, so can upgrade there if I need to. Thing is, that Mac is from 2006 and isn't going to run forever, so I was looking for an alternative to using Parallels (or Boot Camp) and Windows on my 2016 MacBook Pro. This is the first Windows software I have tried loading using CrossOver, and the only Windows software I use.

Same boat as you. Because of this I started to consider moving from Quicken to http://moneydance.com

Any other alternatives to consider for Linux?

"If you like your software you can keep your software".
Ha!
Shouldn't they have told us when we purchased Q2015 that we were only renting it? I mean on a banner, not in the EULA in fine print.
So anyway is there alternative software, maybe Microsoft Money or one we could just import our data to?
SS-EE

Per above, I looked into http://moneydance.com until Quicken sent me a sizable discount to upgrade. Quicken 2018 solved a lot of my usability problems.

grave misunderstanding - software is licensed not sold. Personally I primarily need a check register, interacting with my back is very important. As long as I can import downloaded transactions I can work around.
